Adding to the New Year

Posted by Lori Brown on Friday, January 27, 2012
Many of us began the New Year with the idea of quitting a habit or denying ourselves something in hopes of making a change.  Some of us decided to give up soda, meat, cigarettes, sugar, alcohol or TV.  It doesn't matter what the "thing" is that we are giving up, it's difficult because it more than likely has become a "non-negotiable" in your life! 

By the end of January, you may be wanting a little of that something that you gave up.  Well, guess what?  If you have a little, you are going to ...

Non-Negotiables

Posted by Lori Brown on Thursday, January 19, 2012

It's a New Year and we are all wanting to make some changes.  Are you still hoping or are you actually doing something to create change in your life?

This week I will be sharing some ideas about creating non-negotiables in your life.  What are non-negotiables?  These are things that we have created in our lives that MUST happen every day or on certain days of the week.  Some of you may be thinking that your entire life is negotiable and there isn't anything that you have created that is non-ne...

Small Steps to Change

Posted by Lori Brown on Thursday, January 12, 2012

So, you have decided to make a change, but aren't sure where to begin?  The key is to make small changes.

For example, I have spoken to a lot of people who want to work out 30 minutes a day, but they aren't sure where to fit it in their schedule.  However, if I ask them if they could work out 1 or maybe 5 minutes per day, they always agree that they could do that, but believe it's not enough to make a change. The reality is that if you make small changes each week, you will be working out 20-3...

Worthiness in the New Year

If Not Now When?

This has become my mantra over the past year and my goal is to continue this attitude into 2012. 

What does it mean?  To me this has meant going back to school, starting a business, doing what I love and losing 25 pounds.  These are things that I have wanted to do for several years, but my road blocks kept saying I was too busy, I had too many responsibilities, not enough money and definitely not enough time.  While all of these things had some truth to them, the reality was ...

About Me


I live in Colorado Springs with my husband, Andy and my three daughters, Alex, Sydney and Reese. In another life I went to The Ohio State University where I studied psychology and family relations. I did research in health psychology and earned my B.A. in 1992. After moving to Colorado I worked as a mental health worker in an inpatient hospital, residential and school facility for children with behavioral issues. During that time I realized how important it was for me to raise my children in a loving, nurturing environment. For me, that meant staying at home for the past 15 years taking them to preschool, the library, play dates, the doctor, the dentist, soccer, volleyball, physical therapy, piano, gymnastics, dance, skiing and church. While I am still assuming this role, I am back in school taking master coaching classes and growing my coaching business. This blog is about my journey, your journey and my family's movement toward a happier, more fulfilled life.
